Bill O’Reilly asked Dr. Charles Krauthammer why, despite low approval nationwide, Obama still maintains over 80% approval in the black community. Krauthammer, in my opinion sympathetically, chalked up Obama's high approval among blacks to racial pride and loyalty. Krauthammer pointed out that ethnic groups tend to be loyal to each other and that in the same way, you would see the gay community rally around the first gay president.
While I understand where Krauthammer and black America are “coming from” (my '70s lingo), as an American who happens to be black, I cannot give black folks a pass who are willing to follow Obama to hell because of racial loyalty and America's past sins. It is just plain wrong.
Krauthammer further defended his understanding of why blacks are loyal to Obama. He said there are blacks still alive today who experienced racism in America. In various articles, I have talked about the horrific racism that my 86-year-old black dad suffered. So I get it.
A white friend said, “Well, I guess I can give your dad's generation and even yours a pass for staying loyal to Obama.” My retort was, “No, there is no acceptable excuse for continuing to follow Obama as he takes our country over a cliff.”

But this view came to be universally despised.
The black support for Obama is no less despicable.
Blind loyalty to a politician due to race is exactly how we got Adolf Hilter.
80% of American blacks are obsessed with race and Conservatism Inc. will NEVER CHANGE black peoples behaviors or thoughts.
After Obama and the cops acting stupidly, St Trayon. The Blessed Michael Brown, Holder and his people, the ridiculous,under-reported high black on white crime rate etc,I NO LONGER CARE ABOUT BLACKS.
Let them go—give them their OWN state(or create one) and leave them to their fate.
You cannot save a person hell bent on drowning!!!!
Readers-—Flame away.
Because any black person in control is better than any non-black person in control?

Polite conversation among ivy league educated TV commentators does not address plain reality.
American blacks are racist. It has little to do with people who lived through white racism. Every black kid is being told everywhere that they are the constant victim of white racism.
They also were encouraged to have their own culture away from whites.
Why flame you? Things are on their own trajectory now, there is nothing that can be done.
No need to flame but it isn’t going to happen. Also it is true that Republicans spend no efforts on black votes because it isn’t worth it compared to much easier targets. All a prescription for disaster.
As to Ferguson, just like with illegal aliens we need some leaders with the b*lls to tell people they are doing something wrong and no that won’t be tolerated by society.

The reality is that blacks went from 70% GOP voters to 70% democrat voters all at once, in a single election.
GOP 1932 and before (FDR won 23% of the black vote, and that was normal).
Democrat 1936 and ever since (FDR won 71% of the black vote).
The 'rats basically grabbed onto lower class and lower middle class blacks and over time turned them into the brainless proles that totalitarians love to control. There is a remnant amongst black Americans made up of Ben Carson, Lloyd Marcus, Clarence Thomas, Dr. Sowell, et al, but the proletariat blacks are pretty much a lost cause. They will always require assistance from their parent, Uncle Sam, and will always be resentful that the handouts do not equal affluence.
Finally, we are having an HONEST DISCUSSION about why 95% of the black population is still supporting this LIAR IN CHIEF. No, the blacks can’t sit this one out. I understand that the black alone didn’t get this LIAR IN CHIEF elected. OBAMA got a whole lot of help from the LAME STREAM MEDIA, where 90% of the liberals, socialists and communists reside. But it was the black population that allowed themselves to get sucked in to the “GAME”. They should have used their brains instead of their emotion. I will ask the black population this question; “HOW HAS THIS LIAR IN CHIEF HELPED YOU”? Your unemployment rate is twice that of the white population. Your children are less educated, after the gazzillions of dollars pumped into the government schools.
